Hello list,
I have a PHP (5.2.1) installation on an openSUSE 10.1 server. PHP was
initially compiled from source and I have the original config.nice file,
so I know what options were used. l need to add an extension to this
running installation, specifically I need to add LDAP support.
How is the best way to do this? I know I can recompile and reinstall,
but I am worried that some extensions may have been added after the
initial install and my new installation would overwrite those.
I've looked at PECL and PEAR. Using PEAR I added the AUTH package, but
that didn't seem to fix anything, I think that is more for developing an
LDAP enabled app, rather than allowing an existing one to utilize LDAP
functionality. PECL didn't seem to have anything LDAP related, unless I
missed it.
Thank you
